Help picking a new phone

Hey everyone... I could really use some advice. I'm looking to pick up a new phone but I'm totally stuck on which one to get. I'm willing to spend up to $1000.., and I need something I can just grab here in the States. Honestly, I don't care which carrier it's from—Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, whatever—since I'll probably just unlock it anyway to work on any network. I'd love to stick with Motorola or Apple if possible since those are my favorites, but I'm open to other brands if they're better. Basically, I just want the best device I can get for $1000.. without getting tied down to a contract. If anyone could help me out soon, I'd appreciate it.. pls help..

Thanks in advance! 🙏 🙏

You're posting in the wrong subforum...

Just get a BlackBerry Curve, $467

wait, which subforum am I supposed to post this in? 😕

just $467?..well, maybe it's not even the best one out there..haha..price could easily hit $1000..so i guess i might find something better..right?..though looking at the specs, this one isn't half bad either..

Mobile Tech & Cell Service

It’s listed for $1,400 online, but they're charging $2,300 in the retail stores.
Honestly, this phone is killer—I use one myself and don't need anything fancier. It's got everything you'd want.
Just pocket the extra cash for something else instead.😉

I posted in that other subforum too, just to cover my bases 😉..
hehe..thanks for the help.. I'll definitely put it on my shortlist.. though I'd love some more input if possible, just so I can compare everything before making a call.. hehe.. 😉

You won't be getting any answers from me. If you're really looking for more details on 🙂 Eniv, you might want to just pick up a BlackBerry Pearl 😍

Alright, but I don't really bother with punctuation... lol. Anyway, maybe try reading the whole thing next time.. I'm looking for a phone at most $1000,.. but you suggested one that's "slightly" pricier.. haha.. but whatever, thanks anyway..

Honestly, just grab any old brick from ten years ago that can barely do more than make a phone call. Since you clearly can't read or write to save your life, you don't really need anything fancier than that anyway. ☕

To build on what my colleague mentioned, you really can't go wrong with this choice.

^Ugh, even that one’s got a 'w' in it. What a joke.

Honestly, I’m just sitting here wondering... does someone actually have a weird obsession with overpriced smartphones, or am I totally missing the point? Is there some secret trick I don't get?

There are a million different phones out there, and at the end of the day, everyone’s got their own thing... ☕

The younger crowd seems to have a different vibe... I guess I’m part of that too since I’m pretty young... and I’m not out here messing around with money. I just asked people nicely if they could help me get a phone up to $1000... not even 10 $0.00. So, if you're just here to troll, please stay away from this thread. I wasn't trying to be difficult; I was just asking for help. I really appreciate the adults who gave me a normal response... and as for those who still act like they're five years old, like Next, please just leave this topic alone. I'm looking for assistance here, not playing games with my finances.
Thanks in advance to the mature people who helped me out, like anonymous..

..which applies to me too, since I'm still quite young.. and I'm not trying to be disrespectful about money. I simply asked some kind people for help saving up for a phone until I hit $1000.. not just 10 $0.00.. so if you are here just to troll, please stop posting in this thread.. my intentions weren't malicious, I was just asking for help.. and I am grateful to the mature adults who gave me reasonable answers.. as for those who still act like they're five years old like Next.. please leave this thread alone.. I am looking for assistance here, not to argue about financial status..
Thanks in advance to the mature individuals who helped me, like the anonymous user..

I don't really get the first two bolded parts.😕

As for the rest, I'd much rather be five years old and able to read than "mature" and illiterate. 😉

P.S. If every single member of the younger generation were to jump out a window, you would go right along with them. 😉 😁

(this isn't directed at you, I'm just stating my opinion)

Maria Gonzalez78 said:The younger generations write like this almost exclusively... and honestly, so do I... because I'm pretty young... and I'm not here to mess around with money. I politely asked people for help getting a phone up to $1000... not even 10 $0.00... so if you're just here to troll, please leave this thread alone. My intentions weren't to cause trouble; I was just asking for help. I'm grateful to the mature adults who gave me actual answers... as for those who still have the emotional maturity of a five-year-old, like Nex, please just get lost. This isn't about messing with anyone's finances, I'm just looking for assistance.
Thanks in advance to the grown-ups who helped me out, like anonymous users.

I have to, damn it...

What's with the "v"? Is there a V on the keyboard?
Same thing on mobile.
...almost all the younger generations... I wouldn't go that far, though; my kids don't type like that, probably because we still live in an American reality where V equals V!!!
And there's no W.
Only pretentious types use it, and I have no clue what they think they're achieving.

How am I supposed to find a phone for you here? I could find you one by tomorrow, but what then? You send me the cash and I send you the phone? 🤷
Or you come down to my neck of the woods and we hit up a local shop together? And what if you don't even like the one I pick out for you?
I'll probably just try to talk you into buying mine because it's clearly the best one... but what about you??

Look, I’m not here to start some drama... I can hold my own. Thank God I actually know how to speak three languages plus English, and I pulled straight A's in all of them. I guess if you don't have anything smart to say besides being rude, maybe just skip this thread. And Lindy, I'm not asking you to buy me a phone or anything. I just asked for some recommendations, and some people were actually decent enough to help me out without being jerks. So, maybe let them talk and stop attacking me. You should probably worry about yourselves instead of picking on my spelling just because I use 'w' instead of 'v'. It's not an attack on anyone, it's just a habit. If I want to type like this on my phone or my laptop, that's my business, not yours. You guys can write however you want, but I'm sticking to my style. This is just how I text when I'm relaxing, not when I'm at work.

How old are you again?

Maria Gonzalez78 said:Look, I really have no desire to get into an argument with anyone here. I am perfectly capable of communicating; thank God I speak three languages plus American. I even earned straight A's in all three of those languages and in my American studies. I'm asking you please not to respond to this thread if you don't have anything intelligent to contribute beyond insults. And rapidrider3, I am not asking you to buy me a phone. I simply asked people for recommendations on which model to choose, not for someone to purchase it for me—so much for being "literate," dear. There are plenty of civilized people who were kind enough to answer my questions and offer some help. So, please, let them discuss this topic and refrain from insulting me. You should focus on yourselves rather than trying to disparage me just because I use "w" instead of "v." I'm not doing it to spite you; it has nothing to do with any of you. It's just a habit of mine. If I choose to type this way on my phone or on my computer, that is my business, not yours. You can write however you like and use "v," while I will stick to the way I am accustomed to writing with "w." This is how I spend my free time and relax; it isn't how I communicate in professional situations.

I can't help but wonder, what exactly is this "Hrwatski" language? And what kind of country is "Hrwatska" anyway?😕

I believe you mentioned getting an A in American studies🙂 But what grade did you actually receive in American studies?

Jesus' Mother🤣🤣🤣🤣

And then people have the nerve to wonder why this country is going straight down the drain... I mean, how could it not? Every single generation just seems to be a complete step down from the last one. Honestly, just bring back the days of the Austro-Canadian Empire already... ☕

ahahhhhhhhha😂
Man, I just absolutely love this forum.😂

So what's the move then? Do you actually want a phone or not? Because how am I supposed to recommend something if we aren't going anywhere with this?

Here are your "recommendations":
